1910 – Inquest into Death of Charlotte Warren

The Inquest document enquiring into the causes of her death reveal that Charlotte died on August 9, 1910 at 11.40 pm from ‘orbital cellulitis and meningitis”.  Depositions were given by the Medical Officer for the Hospital, the GP who attended her, and two nurses who were looking after her.  

Their statements indicated that Charlotte was in the habit of scratching her face with her finger-nails and that one of the scratches above her eye had become infected.  Without delving further to her records, it seems that she received insufficient attention for this infection until it was too late to save her.  The result was summed up in the doctor’s statement –

Charlotte Appleton was admitted here suffering from Secondary Dementia. The deceased was in good health.  During the month of July of this year, patient got into the habit of picking her face.

On 4/8/10 she was brought under my notice with a temperature of 102º.  I found that a small abrasion of the patient had become infected and that the infection had spread to the orbital cavity.

She was removed to the Hospital where several incisions were made in the area.  The {infection} had spread to the base of the brain and to the opposite orbital cavity. The patient died at 11.20 pm 9/8/10.  She was visited by her family and by the clergyman prior to death.  It was a secondary infection following on an ordinary inflammation.  It was not erysipelatous.  I saw the original small scratch.

NB “erysipelatous” means an acute, febrile infectious disease, caused by a specific streptococcus, characterized by diffusely spreading deep-red inflammation of the skin or mucous membranes. Also called swine erysipelas.

The nurse in the hospital stated that –

She had a swelling of the right eye and a small sore above the same eye.  She was kept in bed and was seen frequently by Dr. Catanach.  She became swollen.  She was operated on 5th August.  Next day the other eye became swollen and her face also.  She was operated on again on 9th August 1910.  She died the same day.  No nurse was present.  Her husband and sister saw her on 9th August the official visitors but did not see her in hospital again.

LARCENY CHARGE

Constable Nolan charged Alexander Norris with stealing a watch and several articles of jewellery, etc., the property of Arthur Appleton and valued at £5.  Superintendent Fowler conducted the prosecution and accused was undefended.

Arthur Appleton, grazier, residing at Narrang, deposed : “I know the accused, whom I employed on 23rd September last.  He worked for me for about four weeks and slept on the premises.  Only he and I were living on the premises on the 20th October.  On that date I saw accused about 8 o’clock in the morning.  I told him I was going into Stratford and would be back that night.  When I left there was no-one in charge of the house.  I returned home about 5.30 pm.  I went into the house to look at the time and found my watch had gone.  Accused had also disappeared, and with him a silver watch and chain, a gunmetal watch and chain, a rolled gold watch, a breech-loading gun and a water-bag.  I value the whole of this property at about £7.  The articles produced are my property. The gun and the water-bag, also a silver chain are not among the articles recovered by the police.  I did not authorise the accused to take the articles.  The accused had £3 due to him for wage out of which he had had goods to the value of 23 shillings.”  

Constable Nolan, stationed at Sale said ; “On 26th October I went to Rosedale in accordance with instructions received.  I met Constable Brown of Rosedale and we went to the yard of the Exchange Hotel, Rosedale where we saw accused.  I asked his name and he said “Norris.”  He accompanied us to the police station.  He told us he had been working for a man named Appleton at Narrang before he came to Rosedale.  Constable Brown asked him if he had any jewellery on him and he handed over the articles produced.  I then arrested him on a charge of larceny.

Accused made a statement admitting having taken the articles produced.  He said he took the articles because Appleton would not give him any wages.  I locked him up and he has been under arrest ever since.  Accused, who is 23 years of age, admitted having stolen a macintosh at Morwell and 6th June last.  On that occasion he was sentenced but the sentence was suspended.”

The P.M.: “What am I to do with you Norris?  I gave you a chance at Morwell and you have not taken advantage of it.  I don’t like sending you to gaol.  You are far more use to the community outside”.  (To Mr. Appleton) “Would you take him back into your employment?

Appleton:  “No, sir I could not trust him.”

The P.M. “Well, Norris, I cannot overlook this offence, which is your second one.  You will be sentenced to 14 days’ imprisonment in the Sale gaol.”

Costs amounting to 25/- were allowed against the accused.
